Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy spirit, now and
ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come,thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day
our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who
trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from the evil one.

Priest: For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to
the ages of ages.

Mother: Amen.

Priest: Let us pray to the Lord.

Mother: Lord, have mercy.

Priest:

O Master, Lord Almighty, who heal every illness and every
infirmity, hœeal now this your servant N who has today given birth,
and raise her up from the bed on which she lies. For according to the
words of the Prophet David, we were conceived in iniquity and in sin
we were brought forth. Guard her and the child (children) that she has
borne; cover her with the shelter of your wings from this day until her
last breath; through the intercessions of the all-pure Theotokos and of
all the saints; for you are blessed to the ages of ages.

Mother: Amen.

Priest: Let us pray to the Lord.

Mother: Lord, have mercy.

Priest:

O Lord, our God, who freely chose to come down from
heaven and to be born from the holy Theotokos and ever-Virgin Mary
for the salvation of us sinners, who know the frailty of human nature:
Bless your servant N who has this day given birth. For you have
said, O Lord ,"Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and rule over
it." Therefore we, your servants, pray and cry out to the holy name of
your kingdom: Look down from heaven and bless your servant N
and all her household and all here present; for you are a good and
merciful God who love mankind.

Mother: Amen.

And the Dismissal

Priest:

Glory to you, O God our hope, to you.
May Christ, our true God, who was born in a cave and laid in a
manger for our salvation, through the intercessions of his most pure
and undefiled holy Mother; through the power of the precious and life-
giving Cross; through the protection of the venerable bodiless powers
in heaven; through the prayers of the venerable and glorious Prophet
and forerunner John the Baptist, of the holy, glorious and all-praised
Apostles, of the holy, glorious and victorious Martyrs, of our venerable
and God-bearing Fathers, of the holy and righteous ancestors of the
Lord God Joachim and Anna, and of all the Saints, have mercy on us
and save us for he is a good and merciful God who loves mankind.

Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ, Our
God, have mercy on us and save us.
